THE PICTURE.

By the Same.
So numerous FLAVIA's Charms appear,
As may her Form display,
In all the the Dresses of the Year,
And Beauties of the Day.
Calm and serene, like Spring, her Aire;
Like Autumn, soft her Mold;
Her Face, like Summer, blooming fair;
Her Heart, like Winter, cold.

Her Bosom, Cynthia's full-orb'd Light;
Her Cheeks Noon's Rays adorn;
Her Tresses shew the falling Night;
Her Eyes the rising Morn.
